frank mitchell was banned from hemmings after many warnings.he isnt an ebay
vender by choice .he stopped taking credit cards because of the charge
backs.it seems he is independant enough to do what he pleases,so some people
are satisfied and some are not.some vendors have integrity and honesty and
also care about the hobby and that what builds their businesses and some
scam lie cheat dont take phone calls and misrepresent their merchandise.we
are at a great disadvantage because sometimes we have no choice of where to
go or do without for a long time.we are held hostage by supply and price
unlike some of the competitors products.with all of the talented people here
we should start formulating how to reproduce some sought after parts like
gary goers does .imp and 300 owners owe a lot of gratitude to that
